Backwards Compatible games more expensive in euros than pounds.

Rickie G Rhymes571 · Mar 7, 2018

Hitman Blood Money recently became backwards compatible, and I'm confused as to why it says 11.99 pounds and then when I proceed to purchase it, the price changes to euro and it is now 19.99 euro. That's not a fair translation at
all. It should be 14 euro max. Why does the price differ so much?

Xbox One and 4K output

800 Pounds mate, not euros. And clearly my standards for top of the line are not so expensive as yours. Why do you have so many expensive Televisions?

Hi there,

If you're seeing two different currencies there between euros and pounds, that usually points to a region mismatch where your Xbox account is set to a Xbox region (country) other than the country where you're currently living.

As far as price discrepancies between regions, we're afraid that prices and availability are subject to vary by region.

Yeah no thanks... much rather keep the pound than have the euro.

No it won't happen

THQ that owns the game code no longer exists. 2K wouldn't have interest

No one is going to re-release old sports games, it's far too expensive, and they have razor thin margins to begin with

The licenses on the wrestlers are all expired, and would be far more expensive than they would make

The backwards compatibility program has ended and allgames that haven't been made BC won't be.
